Epiglottis
True or false cords
Location
True: vocal (lower)
False: vestibular or ventricular folds
Functions of tonsils
Immunity
FX of trachea
Moves air from larynx to bronchi
Components of trachea and importance?
Trachialis M. Contracts or relaxes to adjust airflow
How many loves on each side of the lung? Why?
Right 3 lobes with an horizontal tissue
Left 2 lobes due to the heart
Both have oblique fissure
What is the hilum?
Where vessels and nerves and bronchi enter or exit the lungs
What are the two plural lines?
Visceral and parietal
What is a pneumothorax?
Pneumothorax occurs when air enters the pleural, space, causing shortness of breath, increasing heart rate and is treated with a needle decompression
What are the three layers of the respiratory membrane?
Alveolar cell, basement membrane and endothelial cell
What is Boyles law?
